PLEASE READ THIS FIRST! Thank you for purchasing a GTO/PRO® 4000/4200. When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your GTO/ PRO® 4000/4200 Automatic Gate Operators. The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators are designed for installation on pull-to-open and push-to-open leaf gates. The gates must not exceed 20 feet in length (per leaf) nor weigh more than 1000 pounds (per leaf) (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct and stop. The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators accommodate extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the Accessory Catalog) are available. The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators feature adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature makes the gates stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds if they come in contact with an obstruction. MIN is the factory setting; meaning the gates will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before they stop and reverse direction. The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Operators also have an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gates reaches the fully open position, they can be set to remain open up to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gates open fully will cause them to close immediately. OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gates will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again. Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 for more information about our GTO/PRO® professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a GTO/PRO® dealer near you.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR: Read these instructions carefully and completely to become familiar with all parts and installation steps. You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on gate operator safety and proper use of the gate operator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety. This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol. The symbol identifies conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death. Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.
To Manually Open and Close the Gate, Follow the Procedure Below: CAUTION: The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate operator is removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect the operator when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving. Front Mount

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For The Consumer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
2.
When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion.
3.
The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas.
4.
The gate and gate operator installation must comply with any applicable local codes.
I. Before Installation 1.
Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use and the proper class rating.
2.
Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.
3.
Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (see page 1).
4.
This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (see page 6).
5.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
6.
Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and the fence post. Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post. Zone 3 – the path of the gate. Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, tree, etc. Zone 5 – pinch points between the opener and gate or post.
II. During Installation 1.
Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it.
2.
Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.
3.
Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection against entrapment.
4.
If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.
5.
Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.
6.
Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS III. After Installation 1.
Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is your responsibility to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements.
2.
The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.
3.
Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.
4.
Do not attempt to "beat the gate" while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.
5.
Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them.
6.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to operator OFF before performing any maintenance. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.
7.
Service the gate and gate operator regularly. Grease hinges, spray push pull tube with high quality silicon spray and replace the battery every 3-5 years.
8.
To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (see page 1). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the GTO Service Department.
9.
Disconnect the operator ONLY when the power is TURNED OFF and the gate is NOT moving.
10.
Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.
11.
Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all persons authorized to use your gate.
12.
IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner. Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the GTO/PRO® web site (www.gtopro.com), by contacting GTO, Inc., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 has provisions for the connection of Type B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired. 1. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]): A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and outside of a vehicular swing gate system. B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage. C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Automatic Gate Operators are designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hardwired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

Installation Overview
Pull-to-Open Gates (Gates Open into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and single gate. Mounting the operators on a masonry columns require special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 38 if you intend to mount the operator on a column. Furthermore, if you have a push-to-open gates, you will need to purchase two pushto-open brackets (see Accessory Catalog) to properly configure your system. See Push to Open Installation on page 33 before proceeding.

Concrete Poured Around Gate Post
Preparation of the Gate Step 1
The gates must be plumb, level, and swing freely on hinges. Wheels must not be attached to the gates. The gates must move throughout the arc without binding or dragging on the ground. Note that gates over 250 lb. should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.
Horizontal Cross Member
Step 2
The fence posts must be secured in the ground with concrete to minimize twist or flex when the operators are activated. We recommend you position the operators near the centerline of the gates to keep them from twisting and flexing. The addition of horizontal or vertical cross members (if one is not already in place) to provide a stable area for mounting the gate brackets also important.
Vertical Cross Member
12
Installing Mounting Hardware Installing the Post Bracket Assembly
The post bracket is designed to work on a flat fence post. Fence posts must be at least 6” square in order to mount the post bracket. NOTE: The best method of attaching the post bracket to metal post is welding. Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the post bracket. If bolts are used to mount the post bracket, the bolts must completely penetrate the fence post. If your fence post is wider than 8", it will be necessary to use carriage bolts longer than those supplied. On wood posts use a metal plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood. On masonry columns use red heads or other secure masonary mounting hardware. NOTE: A fence post smaller than 6" in diameter or 6" square should be made of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable while the operator is moving the gate.
Step 1:
Close the gate and place your level against the horizontal cross member. The top of the level should be in the center of the cross member and should overlap the fence post. Scribe a line across the cross member and fence post. You will use this line to help determine position of gate and post brackets.

Step 2:
Position the post bracket on the fence post with the mounting holes centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the edge of the fence post closest to the gate (see illustration). Mark the position of post bracket holes on the fence post.
Step 3:
Drill holes in fence post as marked using a 1/2" drill bit. Install the post bracket using the 1/2" x 10" carriage bolts, 1/ " washers, and lock nuts (provided). 2
Step 4:
Place the end of post pivot bracket with two holes inside the post bracket. Align the back hole in the post pivot bracket with back hole in the post bracket. Insert 1/2" x 33/4" hex head bolt through post pivot bracket and post bracket and secure with washer, large bushing, lockwasher and nut.

Step 7:
Open the gate to the desired open position. Position the operator so that the gate bracket rests against the gate along the level scribed line. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. See illustration at right for examples of clearance.
Pinch Area
When you feel that you have the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place.
Gate in the OPENED POSITION
Clamp the gate bracket to the gate using c-clamps or another type of clamp.
2" minimum
IMPORTANT: While determining the position of the post pivot bracket, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions, as shown in Steps 7 & 8 . This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
15
Step 8:
Gate in the CLOSED POSITION
2" minimum
Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate operator is not binding at the post pivot bracket.
Pinch Area
If you don't have 2 inches of clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the post bracket and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve the proper clearance. With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and return the operator to the open position and recheck the gate operator level and clearance. Make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely.
Installing the Gate Bracket Step 9:
Move the operator away from the gate bracket. The mounting holes should be centered over the scribe line. Mark the gate in the center of the gate bracket holes. Remove the gate bracket and drill the 1/2" holes in the gate cross member and attach the gate bracket using the 1/2" x 23/4" bolts, washers and nuts.

DUAL GATE INSTALLATION You will need to install the GTO/PRO 4200 SLAVE operator arm on the second gate following the same steps you did to install the GTO/PRO 4000 MASTER operator arm. Begining on page 13, Step 1 through page 17, Step 10. When the second gate operator is installed go to the page 18 and continue.
17
Installation of the Closed Position Stops The GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Gate Operators firmly hold the gates in the closed position using positive stops. The positive stops help stabilize the gate leaves in the closed position. To further enhance stability and security, we strongly recommended using an optional GTO/PRO® Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog) with your dual gates.
IMPORTANT: You need to determine which side of the driveway you will mount the control box. From this point on the gate and gate operator on the same side as the control box will be referred to as the MASTER gate and gate operator. The gate and gate operator on the opposite side of the driveway from the control box will be referred to as the SLAVE gate and gate operator.

Detach the gate operators from the gates and move the gates to their closed position (Illustration A). Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for tube or chain link; screw or bolts for wood or metal) attach the closed position stop plate (horizontally) about mid height on the MASTER gate frame. Do not tighten it completely at this time. Slide the stop plate toward the frame of the SLAVE gate leaf until they touch (Illustration B). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely.

Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate attach the vertical closed position stop plate to the SLAVE gate frame at the point where it will come in contact with the ground stop post.. Do not tighten it completely at this time. You must slide the closed position stop plate toward the ground stop until they touch (Illustration C). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely. NOTE: For a push-to-open installation (gate opens out from the property) attach the closed position stop plate to the outside of the gate.
At this stage of the installation, the operators should be installed on the gate leaves and closed position stops should be in place. SLAVE Gate Opener

Powering the System
Installation of the Transformer IMPORTANT: •
The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover or housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used.
•
All low voltage wire used with the GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Gate Operator must be 16 gauge dual conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 23 and the Accessory Catalog). Do not run more than 1000 feet of wire.
•
If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an ac power source, you will need to use from 10 to 30 watts of solar charging power to charge the battery (see Accessory Catalog). Refer to the Solar Panel and Gate Activity chart below.
OPTIONAL Solar Panel and Gate Activity The table and map illustrate the maximum number of gate cycles to expect per day in a particular area when using from 15 to 30 watts of solar charging power. (see Accessory Catalog). The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account for the use of any accessory items. Accessories connected to your system will draw additional power from the battery.

NOTE: A minimum of 15 watts of solar charging power is required for GTO/PRO 4000/4200 dual gate systems, with a maximum of 30 watts. An optional second battery can be used for solar and/or high traffic applications, if needed. Consult Solar Panel Installation Instructions for further information.
Step 1
Make sure the power switch is OFF before proceeding to the next step.
FF ON/O
ON/OFF Switch
Step 2
Select the electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid. After you have measured how much wire is needed, cut the wire to the appropriate length. (Not more than a 1,000 feet). 22
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE
The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC sheathed wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft.
DO NOT use telephone wire or solid core wire. Unlike multi-stranded wire, these types of wire are
inadequate for use with your gate operator system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate operator to function and will cause the system to go into a condition known as "low voltage lockout."
NEVER splice wires together. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an adequate current.
12 V Battery
Step 3
Lay the measured length of low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to bury the wire laid in the trench. 15

Setting the Closed Position Limits TURN CONTROL BOX ON Your GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 has two Limit Settings 1) OPEN Limit setting: (Gate in the OPEN POSITION / FACTORY SET NOT ADJUSTABLE) The open limit setting is the fully open position. 2) CLOSED Limit setting: (Gate in the CLOSED POSITION) To achieve optimum closed position, you are required to complete the following SEVEN STEPS:
Step 1
Confirm that the power switch is in the ON position, and the gates are in the OPEN POSITIONS.
Step 2
Activate your operators by pressing the entry transmitter button. Your gates should now be moving from the fully open positions toward their closing position. Prepare to STOP gate by pressing the entry transmitter button again when the first gate reaches the desired closed position. This step may be repeated until desired close position is achieved. Once the desired CLOSED position has been achieved, proceed to step 3.
Step 3
With the first gate in the desired closed position. Program the closed limit setting by setting the number 4 DIP switch on the DUAL MODES switches to the OFF position (if the MASTER gate closed first) or the ON position (if the SLAVE gate closed first) then PRESS & HOLD the “SET LIMIT" button on the control board for 5 seconds.
Step 4
Press the transmitter button and allow the gates to return to the fully open position. YOUR FIRST GATE’S CLOSED POSITION LIMIT IS NOW PROGRAMMED.
Step 5
Activate your operators again by pressing the entry transmitter button. Your gates should now be moving from the fully open positions toward their closing position. The first gate will stop at the spot you just programmed and the second gate will continue to close until you press the transmitter button again. The optimum CLOSED POSITION for the second gate is when it closes firmly, without excess tension, against the first gate. This step may be repeated until desired close position is achieved. Once the desired CLOSED position has been achieved, proceed to step 6.
Step 6
With the second gate in the desired closed position. Program the closed limit setting by setting the number 4 DIP switch on the DUAL MODES switches to the ON position (if the MASTER gate closed first) or the OFF position (if the SLAVE gate closed first) then PRESS & HOLD the “SET LIMIT" button on the control board for 5 seconds.

Setting Your Personal Transmitter Code All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate your GTO/PRO® 4000/4200 Gate Operator. For your safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that you replace the factory setting with your own personal code. Follow the directions below:
1. Remove the Transmitter Cover Grasp the sides of the access cover and slide it away from the transmitter button (see illustration). When the access cover is removed, the battery and the DIP switches will be exposed. To set a new code, use a small screwdriver to move the switches.
, Inc.
2. Set the transmitter DIP Switches There are nine (9) transmitter DIP switches; each can be placed in three different positions (+, 0, –). DO NOT set all the switches in the same position, such as all +, all 0, or all –. Once the DIP switches have been set to a personal code, replace and close the access cover. WARNING: No other adjustments should be made inside the transmitter.

NOTE: You may need to increase the stall force in cold weather due to increased resistance from gate hinges. ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR SERVICING YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER!
Installing the Receiver Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it. Consider the following when mounting the receiver: • Standard receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable! • Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage. • DO NOT run cable through metal conduit because the receiver signal range will be decreased. • DO NOT run cable in conduit containing ac wiring. • DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range. • The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference. • DO NOT mount upside down. FCC Regulation This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept an interference that may cause undesired operation. Transmitter distance may vary due to circumstances beyond our control.

Connecting Additional Safety Devices Although GTO strongly recommends the use of additional safety devices, we do not endorse any specific brand names. Only use products that are certified and listed to be in compliance with any applicable UL standards (United Laboratories) and national and regional safety codes. Call GTO Sales at 1-800-543-4283 for information on compatible products for your specific application.
The GTO/PRO® 4000 will ONLY accept accessory devices with normally open contact output.
Contact Sensors (safety edges) If not installing a contact sensor skip to next section. PLEASE NOTE: Contact sensors are not included with the GTO/PRO® 4000. The GTO/PRO® 4000 is equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. The operator is designed to stop and reverse the gate within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, although functioning properly, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. To augment your protection against entrapment, GTO recommends using some form of additional safety device. When installed, contact sensors must be mounted in compliance with UL 325, Underwriters Laboratories safety standard for gate operators. Review page 5 for information about mounting requirements for safety edges ("contact sensors"). Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions for information about installing these devices on a vehicular gate.

Push to Open Installation Determining The Mounting Position of The Post Bracket Assembly Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas! 1/2" x 3-3/4" Bolt
A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property. If you have a pull-to-open gate (gate opens into the property), return to page 13.
Post Bracket
In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the operators are installed while the gates are in the closed position. NOTE: An optional 12" long Post Pivot Bracket (R4KPTO) is available for installations that need a greater distance to achieve the safe gate and gate operator clearance (2 inches).
1/2" Washer 1/2" Lock Washer 1/2" Nut
Step 1
Post Pivot Bracket
With the gates closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate bracket until the operator is level. While holding the operator level, use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.
IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
Gate in the Open Position
Step 2
After verifying that you have the best position for the post pivot bracket, insert the 5/16" x 1 3/4" bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket and fasten it with the 5/16" washer and nut.
Pinch Area
2" minimum
IMPORTANT: If you loosened the clamp on the post bracket to achieve the optimum position, tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate bracket with the gate in the open position (move the gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary). Gate in the Closed Position
Pinch Area
2" minimum

Step 3
With the gate in the fully closed position and the operator retracted, swing the operator to the gate. Mark reference points for bolt holes on gate cross member through middle of gate bracket slots. The operator must be level. Drill 3/8" holes into the gate cross member as marked. Fasten gate bracket to cross member using (2) 3/8" x 3" bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts. Attach the operator to the post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpins clips.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting If your gate operator does not function properly after it is installed, use this guide before calling the GTO Service Department. • On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely grease the ball bearing hinges at least 4 times a year; more frequently if the gates are near a coastal area. • Keeping a few mothballs in the control box will discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board. • Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to it at least once per month. • While oxidation is a normal part of weathering of equipment that is exposed to the elements, we recommend you apply silicone spray on the front and rear mounts to minimize this effect.
If the Operator Does Not Work Check the Green LED on the Control Board: IF THE LED IS OFF: This condition indicates a transformer power failure.
1. Test the transformer for voltage with a voltmeter. The acceptable range can be found in the VOLTAGE LIMITS chart on the next page. If the transformer test shows no voltage, then test the electrical outlet for voltage. If the outlet test shows voltage, then the transformer is dead and must be replaced. Allow the new transformer 12 hours to charge the battery before using the gate operator. 2. If the transformer test shows voltage, check the POWER IN terminal block on the control board for voltage. If the terminal block shows no voltage, look for broken or spliced wires.
Check the Red STATUS LED on the Control Board: IF THE LED IS ON: but the unit is not working.
1. Check the battery in your transmitter and replace with a fresh one if needed.. 2. Verify that the power cable is securely connected. 3. Replace the control board fuse if it is blown (25 ampere fuse only - DO NOT USE A HIGHER RATED FUSE!). IF THE LED IS OFF: 1. Make sure the ON / OFF switch at the bottom of the control box is set to ON. 2. Check all connections for looseness and corrosion.

Column Installation Information IF THIS OPERATOR WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON MASONRY, BRICK, OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS: READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING A.
The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength.
B.
If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the columns.
C.
The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
